Fossil Ridge Student Spotlight

While I was briefly observing a class late last week, I

overheard one of our Teachers say the following to her

Students..."You are BRILLIANT!" I know without a doubt

that all of us at Fossil Ridge have the same feeling about

our Students...indeed we are all lucky to be at such a

great school with "BRILLIANT" students!

This week several of our Fine Arts Students will be sharing

their talents with Parents, Faculty, Staff and Community

with our Fall Choir, Band and Orchestra Concerts. Prepare

yourselves for some fabulous pieces!

Mrs. Gubler's Visual Art Students "Installation Art"

...Three dimensional art work that is designed to

completely change the space, often incorporating materials

found on site.
